ParaviewComponentAnnotationMap

Use this outputter to produce an annotated color map for paraview (works with version 5.8+)

Usage

Add the following block into the [Outputs] block in your input file:


[map]
  type = ParaviewComponentAnnotationMap
[]

This will produce a file named <input_file>_map.json.

Import this file into paraview via the Color Map Editor window for the vtkBlockColors variable. You should see a component name associated with each color. See example below:
